How do I stream to a Facebook group?

Updated over a week ago

Requirements

  • You need to be the admin or owner of the group you want to stream to.

  • The Restream app will need to be added to your Facebook group.

  • You’ll need a paid plan to unlock streaming to Facebook groups.

How to go live on a Facebook Group

Connect Facebook to Restream following this instruction.

Followed the instructions but still don't see your Facebook group on the list?

There are a few reasons your Facebook group may not show up on Restream:

  1. The Restream app is not added to your Facebook group.

  2. Your personal account isn’t an admin of the Facebook group.

  3. You haven’t granted permission for a specific group.

You haven’t granted permission for a specific group

Removing and re-adding the Facebook channel should fix that. Please ensure you grant access and check the boxes next to all groups and pages that you'd like to stream to.
